People are going to think we were stupid

When looking back in ten years time, and noting that a song about one woman's need for her umbrella was at #1 for over 10 weeks. Making it the most chart-topping song since Wet Wet Wet's "Love is all around" in 1994 (15 weeks: from the soundtrack to Four Weddings if I recall). The inane nature of Rihanna's lyrics won't go unnoticed either ... but goddam I'm the first to admit the tune's catchy.

Yes I am back safely, thanks for asking LB. I intend to write a meaningful post or two about my travels, and get back on sportsfreak, but for now all I can manage is a couple of lines about an umbrella. Which is all our friend Rihanna can manage too. Not that she wrote the song of course.
